Mark Brady admits it was a “bittersweet” experience on Saturday as Comber lost 3-2 to derby rivals Abbey Villa but sealed promotion courtesy of results elsewhere.
With Dromara slipping out of the race with a 5-3 defeat at Malachians, Gareth McKeown’s men have fallen over the line in losing their last two when a win in either would have cemented the title as well as promotion.
Now, all eyes turn to Kilmore’s last game of the season when Abbey Villa – of all teams – can do their old rivals a favour by repeating the feat and denying the visitors a title-clinching win at Millisle.
